About this game

Communicate… without a word. A cooperative deduction game for 2 players with 168 illustrations, 3 game modes and aimed at beginners as well as experts. Both players must guess their partner's secret picture among a grid of many illustrations while giving clues about their own secret picture. During each turn, back and forth, a player must pick and remove from the grid a picture they think is not their partner's secret image. Ideally, the chosen card should give their teammate a clue about their own card. If at any point, a player removes their partner's secret card, the game is lost.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
